Today's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals before an announced crowd of 12,520 at PNC Park was No. 82 on the season for The Pittsburgh Baseball Club, thus extending the longest streak of consecutive losing seasons in the history of North American sports. I could have sworn the Bucs were in first place as late as July 25. But then that Jerry Meals thing happened, and they've been 14-35 ever since. Same as it ever was.
